Nervy

so i just got back from the NHS office after much whining about my leg muscle.

as i stepped in the doctors office i explained the pain in my leg..

'its like my muscle is being pulled and i cant bend forward to touch my toes .. oh and it especially hurts in the buttocks region..'

she then told me to lift up my shirt whilst she nudged my back and told me to tell her if i'm feeling any pain in my spine..

i said no. no pain what so ever from that region.

she then asked me if i've been doing any vigorous sports lately, which i told her not in the past 4 weeks.

so then she told me to lie down on the treatment bed while she tried some nerve test. basically using that rubbery hammer like tool to knock on my knee to see if it'll kick up.

yep. knees are fine.

later she told me to lift my leg straight whilst i'm lying flat on my back. i could lift my left leg fine however, when i lifted my right leg. the pain was quite.. well how should i put it .. 'ah ahh adoiiiiii... aduh aduh..' like :D

so she then confirmed her diagnosis by telling me that my Sciatic Nerve is the one causing the problem.

for those of you who dont have a clue what is this Sciatic Nerve. its basically the nerve which starts from your lower back through your buttocks and below.

like so,


so basically the sensation which i'm feeling is that my buttocks hurt a lil and my thigh muscle feels like its being pulled all the way to my knee's.

the doctor then prescribed me with some painkillers, Diclofenac which is part painkiller part anti-inflammation pill.

so looks like imma be highhhhh.

haha. ;p

got the prescription from the doctor and now i have to trudge myself in this pain all the way to the nearest pharmacist which is tesco's. how i long for the days of being in malaysia where when the doctor prescribes you something you can just pick it up at the counter outside.

and not suffer this pain of going to the pharmacist!

bah!

anyways. better go get my pills before it starts raining..
